Tencent Digital News (Compilation: Rabbit) In the iOS 10 system officially unveiled this fall, we have a new look for Siri. That's right, the reason is simple: Siri this voice assistant can now be integrated into third-party applications for the first time.
The first applications that are fully compatible with Siri include famous apps such as WhatsApp, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Square Cash, and Slack, as well as apps such as Looklive and The Roll.
In the past few days, we have experienced Siri through the beta system. Obviously, this time, Siri, which has been fully improved, will play a more important role in our lives. However, since Apple has promised that Siri will bring us a new way of controlling devices, supporting third-party applications is just the beginning.
Siri's voice commands are now available for mobile payments, image search, and sending messages. For example, I would tell Siri to “pay $20 for Catherine,†and then the Square Cash app would transfer $20 directly, without even having to verify the fingerprint. It's also possible to order Siri to “send a message to Jim Gonzalez in LinkedIn,†which Siri can easily do.
In addition, Siri can also help us to achieve more specific operations, such as "Siri, help me to find Kanye West in the VMA awards photo in Looklive", then the rapper's photos and more related information will be Show it. In most demos, Siri doesn't even need to open the corresponding app, but only needs to display all the results through a card-like interface.
In the demo, the operations done by Siri are indeed more convenient and faster than we can use our fingers to operate on the screen. And this is what Siri needs most. Since Siri came out in 2011, we can already use her to check the weather, dial the number and see the result of the match. Although convenient, it is not irreplaceable. Siri has always played a dispensable role in our lives.
Of course, not all apps can be controlled by Siri in the future. This requires app developers to make individual changes. But even if only a small part of it supports Siri, we also feel her progress.
At the WWDC Global Developers Conference in June this year, Apple demonstrated using Siri to call cars through Lyft, buy movie tickets through Fandango, and open car air conditioners through CarPlay. If an app also has an Apple Watch version, then all this It can even be done on the wrist.
Kiran Prasad, vice president of engineering at LinkedIn, said that he hopes Siri can really help LinkedIn to send messages. If Siri can really integrate into the app, then more people will use LinkedIn.
But even with new skills, Siri and its competitors still have problems to face. Now all the voice assistants need more contextual support to perform the corresponding operations. Therefore, the future development of Siri will require the joint efforts of developers and Apple.
